NTsocial Terms of Use & Legal Notices
日本語 · 繁體中文版 · Privacy Policy · Community Standards · Terms of Use
The Terms of Use and Community Safety Agreement sets explicit consent, zero tolerance, filtering, reporting, immediate local blocking and developer notification, and action within 24 hours. It controls those topics and preserves applicable open-source rights where older wording differs.
1. Acceptance and Scope
These Terms of Use and Legal Notices ("Terms") form an agreement between you and LiberaNt LLC ("LiberaNt," "we," "us") governing your access to NTsocial applications, NTsocial MeshLink, related companion features, documentation, and the official website (collectively, the "Services"). Explicit acceptance of the Terms of Use and Community Safety Agreement is required before identity setup, login, or first communication use. These Legal Notices also apply together with our Privacy Policy, and our Community Standards. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Additional terms from Apple, Google, a device manufacturer, radio provider, open-source license, or selected third-party service may apply. Mandatory platform or consumer terms control to the extent they cannot lawfully be excluded.
2. What NTsocial Is—and Is Not
NTsocial is a social platform combining Internet messaging through Cloudflare with native nearby BLE mesh, direct Wi-Fi synchronization, and optional gateways. Internet is on by default and can be turned off in Profile. Features and delivery depend on network access, participating devices, permissions, radio conditions, operating-system scheduling, batteries, and required accessories. A nearby online device is not a general Internet gateway for other users.
Not an emergency service: NTsocial does not connect you to emergency dispatch, does not guarantee delivery, receipt, identity, range, availability, background operation, or data recovery, and must not be your only means of requesting emergency, medical, public-safety, or life-critical assistance. Contact local emergency services through an appropriate channel when needed.
3. Eligibility and Children
You must be legally capable of accepting these Terms. The Services are not directed to children under 13. If local law requires parental or guardian authorization for a minor to use the Services or consent to data handling, that authorization is required. Do not use the Services if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.
4. Responsible Use and Community Safety
You are responsible for your conduct, the content you create or transmit, the channels and secrets you share, and compliance with applicable law. You must not use the Services to threaten, harass, exploit, defraud, impersonate, distribute malware or spam, disclose another person's private information without authority, infringe rights, facilitate unlawful activity, or interfere with devices, networks, or the Services.
The Terms of Use and Community Standards establish our zero-tolerance rules, required filtering, reporting and blocking safeguards, and moderation action within 24 hours of receiving an abuse report. Confirmed violations require content removal and offender ejection or suspension from our operated services. Independently held offline copies cannot all be remotely erased; this does not waive our moderation obligation.
5. User Content and Other Participants
You retain whatever rights you lawfully hold in content you create. You direct the App to copy, transmit, relay, store, display, transform for transport, or export that content as needed to perform the feature you choose. You represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to do so.
Public and channel content is intended for participating recipients. Nearby devices may relay content, and recipients may save, copy, screenshot, export, or forward it. LiberaNt does not endorse user content, verify every identity, continuously monitor decentralized traffic, or control the conduct of nearby users. Use judgment before sharing confidential, regulated, location, or safety-sensitive information.
6. Encryption and Security Limitations
Internet private messages require automatic DM2 or manual shared-secret end-to-end protection. Automatic DM2 uses identity keys learned through verified nearby exchange or the authenticated Cloud directory and pins the first accepted key; this does not verify a real-world identity. A changed pinned identity blocks sending and Basic1 downgrade. Shared secrets must be exchanged and checked through a trusted channel.
The legacy nearby Basic1 mode uses an app-embedded key and is not end-to-end encryption, sender authentication, or forward secrecy. A person with that key may be able to decrypt or forge Basic1 content. Public posts remain public regardless of transport encryption. Encryption cannot prevent recipient disclosure or protect a compromised device, and no security control is warranted to be invulnerable.
7. Optional Features and Third-Party Services
Optional integrations—including MeshLink, Meshtastic or LoRa radios, Wi-Fi Aware, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspots, LAN peers, map files, and Android UTFind—may require separate software, hardware, credentials, permissions, consent, connectivity, or provider terms. When you enable one, information necessary for that feature is disclosed to the selected device, peer, companion, or provider.
LiberaNt does not control third-party networks or services and is not responsible for their availability, security, content, retention, or independent acts. Your use of them is governed by their terms and privacy notices in addition to these Terms.
Internet messaging uses Cloudflare to process messages, images, and online presence. Internet is enabled by default and can be turned off in Profile. The Privacy Policy describes the data and retention for these services.
8. Local Data, Backups, and Deletion
The App may persist identities, messages, media, keys, settings, locations, diagnostics, and delivery state locally. Closing the App does not necessarily delete them. Deletion controls act on App-owned data on the device where you invoke them; operating-system backups, exported copies, reports already sent, and copies stored by peers or third parties may remain. You are responsible for backups and for safeguarding your device, credentials, and shared secrets.
Cloud message payloads and image ciphertext have a configured 30-day lifetime. Public identity keys, trust records, infrastructure logs, and temporary People registrations are handled separately. Turning Internet off does not erase all history or recall content from other devices. See the Privacy Policy.
9. Intellectual Property and License
The brand, design, and LiberaNt-provided website materials are owned by or licensed to LiberaNt. Software rights are governed by the open-source license supplied with each repository, release, and component. These notices do not restrict rights granted by those licenses. See the Terms of Use for the distinction between software rights and access to our operated services.
Third-party and open-source components remain governed by their respective licenses and notices. Except where those licenses or mandatory law permit it, you may not copy, sell, sublicense, distribute, defeat access controls, or exploit LiberaNt materials without written permission. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your lawful user content to LiberaNt.
10. Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation
We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features, compatibility, documentation, or company-controlled services. Updates may be needed for security or interoperability. Decentralized copies already installed may continue operating beyond our control, and we cannot promise support for every prior version, platform, radio, or protocol combination.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available". LiberaNt and its licensors disclaim express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, delivery, interoperability, and security. We do not warrant that messages will be delivered, that peers are who they claim to be, that content is lawful or safe, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Some jurisdictions do not allow particular warranty exclusions. Nothing in these Terms excludes non-waivable rights or remedies.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LiberaNt, its affiliates, officers, employees, developers, contributors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, communications, opportunity, or service, arising from the Services or these Terms—even if advised that such loss is possible.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including where applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer rights.
13. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, U.S.A., without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to mandatory consumer law and any non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere, disputes shall be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Wyoming. Before filing a claim, you and LiberaNt are encouraged to attempt informal resolution by email.
14. General Terms
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, reorganization, or sale of the relevant business, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, Community Standards, applicable platform terms, and incorporated licenses form the agreement regarding the Services.
15. Changes and Contact
We may update these notices as the Services or law change, publish the updated date, and provide legally required notice. Material changes to the Terms of Use require renewed explicit acceptance before further use of affected communication features.
